EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satellite image of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in Central Africa, providing a stunning perspective from above. The vastness and diversity of this landlocked country are beautifully captured, with its neighboring countries shaded out to emphasize its unique features. The DRC shares borders with several nations: the Central African Republic and South Sudan to the north, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi in the east, Zambia and Angola to the south, and finally the Republic of Congo along with Angola's exclave Cabinda as well as the Atlantic Ocean on its western side. This comprehensive view also reveals Europe at upper center stage while showcasing both the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean on either side. Compiled from data acquired by LANDSAT satellites in 2012, this image not only highlights geographical aspects but also provides valuable information about elevation and topography. It offers an opportunity for us to appreciate our planet's rich tapestry from space observation. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable piece that encompasses elements such as environment, geography, boundaries between nations or continents while avoiding any commercial use implications. With its detailed cartography capturing elevations and frontiers alike, this print serves as a testament to human innovation in earth observation during our 21st century era.
